In the photos I saw online, the assassin bug varieties had black thoraxes and heads with red abdomens. but this bug is all read with little white spots, rimmed in black. I also didn't bite, as some assassin bugs will do.

So here's my question... what is it? So far, I haven't noticed any damage to the plants -- just the bug. And I don't plan on using any controls to target the bug. Well, unless you count trying to keep the plants healthy and happy as a control.
